First look at Xavier’s 2024-25 non-conference men’s basketball schedule

Xavier University announced its non-conference men’s basketball schedule for the 2024-25 season on Friday.

Xavier opens its season at home against Texas Southern Nov. 4. Xavier’s non-conference schedule includes seven games at Cintas Center, including the Skip Prosser Classic against Wake Forest Nov. 16.

In the final Big East-Big 12 battle, Xavier will play TCU at Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena in Forth Worth, Texas on Friday, Dec. 6. Of course, that’s not the Musketeers’ only Big 12 road test of the non-conference slate with the Crosstown Shootout against UC scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 14 at Fifth Third Arena.

Xavier is part of the four-team Beach Division bracket of the Fort Myers Tip-Off. They will host Siena, a member of Palms Division, Nov. 20 as part of the event before playing two games against either Michigan, South Carolina or Virginia Tech at Suncoast Credit Union Arena in Fort Myers, Florida.
